April Fools Day isn’t until April 1st, but Google has started their jokes early. Starting now, you can turn most streets in a real-life version of the popular video game Pac-Man.

Samsung’s Finnish and Danish wings are now telling us that the Galaxy Alpha smartphone will start receiving the Android 5.0 update along with the Galaxy Note 2 flagship from 2012. Samsung has mentioned that the update for the Galaxy Note 2 will begin later in 2015, with no concrete word on when.

Despite that, it’s good to know that Samsung plans to roll out the update to one of its smartphones. It was almost...

The hardware specs of the LG G4 smartphone might have been prematurely revealed by a benchmark site. Popular benchmarks database GFXBench has revealed the smartphone with the model number LG H815/LG-F500x.
This leak aligns pretty neatly with previous reports which indicated that the G4 will use a hexa core Snapdragon 808 SoC instead of the Snapdragon 810 chip as earlier believed. Overheating concerns on the Snapdragon 810 might have had a part to play in LG going with a slightly underpowered SoC.

The company has also claimed that the Xperia C3 and the Xperia T2 Ultra will be receiving the Android 5.0 update soon, so the...

With AT&T beginning the Android 5.0 rollout for the One M7 today, the One M8 users were almost left in the dark about its arrival. HTC has now confirmed that the update will be sent out to the 2014 flagship starting the 6th of April. This is slightly odd as the carrier is actually sending out the update to the older flagship first.
Both updates should bring the same set of features to the devices, including Material Design elements and a couple of other HTC specific features. The update should improve performance of the smartphone...
